Are We There Yet?

Man, this week is a killer.  How can this only be Thursday? 

Super Husband is away on another business trip.  I've said it before and I'll say it again.  It's really hard to be "on" all.the.time.  Work is INSANE right now.  Naturally this week is the week that just about everyone decides to take off and I am left to hold the fort.  My direct report is out of office, the formal PM out of office, Business Lead for both my major projects out of office....not to mention my husband.  In the end it means I get left facilitating lots of meetings and the crowning glory:  a formal presentation to the President and Senior leadership team.  At 4pm Friday.  Enough said???

Aside from that, I have been dealing with the aftermath of a flood in our new house.  Yes, you read that right.  The house is 40+ years old and never had any issues.  Until we move in.  With all the rain we had a couple of weeks ago the basement flooded.  Carpet soaked and laminate bubbling out.  Let's not forget our bedroom is down there.  Oh, the joy.  So now we are left juggling contractors and quotations so it can be fixed.  Good news is the cause will be fixed next week. 

Lastly, being a class-A IDIOT....I decided that I needed a new project.  So, for Buddy's birthday party I am making all the kids personalized capes.  Guess where I will be at 10pm tonight?  Yup....at the sewing machine feverishly sewing superhero capes for 10 kidlets.  They will look cute but I didn't realize how much work this was going to be.  I have two weeks to get them all finished.  Thank goodness I started early!

So these are all contributing factors to my infrequent updates.  I apologize but the tipping point has been reached.

Since Super Husband left (last weekend):

While attending a birthday party, I went upstairs to check on the kids only to find them playing what they called "The Humpty Dumpty Game".  Apparently this game entails all children to stand in a circle, recite Humpty Dumpty and at the end pull both pants and underwear off.  And shake your goods for all to see.  Now I know.

I have learned to check contents of garbage.  Apparently Super Husband threw out an exacto knife in the basement bathroom garbage.  I had no idea.  Little Man discovered it, took it out, mastered the safety feature that prevents the blade from being out without someone holding it securely and tested it out on his head.  I found out when Buddy raced upstairs to announce Little Man has "bleed" on his head.  Wonderful.  Try explaining that one to daycare.

Only three more sleeps until Super Husband returns.

I think I can, I think I can.....
